I second this. I made an effort a while back to cut all Meta products out of my digital life. And this was the reasoning I gave to friends and family as well. Especially as I had no interest at all to use more than one messaging app.
Worked pretty well.
Good for you. Now do Alphabet.
Did that years ago already! No Google Account and using other search engines.
So because you have no interest in using more than one app you coerce others into installing yet another messaging app?
That says something about you and it's not positive...
"Coercion involves compelling a party to act in an involuntary manner by the use of threats, including threats to use force against that party."
Perhaps you should kindly explain why you think threats are involved in this case?
That's obviously not what they're saying. Stop being so negative towards strangers on the Internet.
Stop forcing people to adapt to your choices?
Well, that surely is a two way street, ain’t it?
Others staying on WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger etc and expecting me to be available there is the same „forcing people to adapt to your choices“.
Everyone has their choice, they can adapt another messenger or not. No hard feelings either way. Regarding my data and privacy the choice is mine, and if I don’t want my data in the hands of Meta and Alphabet that is my call to make. No matter how others deem that decision.
